An orange cat ran away from his South Carolina home 18 months ago, and people found him in California. It is a long way from his home, his owner was lucky to have him again. “When I got him at the airport he was like he’d never gone,” the cat’s owner, Cheryl Walls, said.
Cheryl Walls is 44 years old now, she lives in South Carolina, she adopted the cat in June 2013 for her now 13-year-old nephew asked her to. She calls the cat Kevin. “My boy friend died on June 5, 2013, and his name was Kevin,” Walls said. “I was in bad time and my nephew wanted me to have a cat so I can be happy again.”
A few months later, in the autumn of 2013, Kevin ran away from Walls’ home and she thought the cat would not come home again. In the first week of March this year, Walls got an email from California. Kevin was in California! Kevin is now back at home with her other pets, two cats and two dogs.
Walls’ 13-year-old nephew is excited to have him back but the whole family is keeping a close eye on their well-traveled cat.
